Elliot Consulting Announces Strategic Alliance with Business and Technology Strategies

Tampa, Fla. – June 2, 2008 — Elliot Consulting Services (ECS), a leader in business continuity planning and emergency preparedness services, proudly announces a strategic partnership with Business and Technology Strategies (BTS), an organization offering independent solution recommendations and cost expectations in the areas of business continuity, disaster recovery, colocation, managed services, telecommunications, and business development.

“The importance of BC/DR planning has become a primary topic of conversation and action within many organizations and industries with the realization of ultimate corporate survival at stake,” said Steve Elliot, President and CEO of ECS. “While analysis, risk identification, and mitigation strategies are of the utmost importance, the discovery of these factors hold little value without the applicable and accurate business and IT services, and service providers, in place to address the 7x24 logistics of maintaining, recovering and/or relocating mission-critical systems, applications, and data to ensure continued information access and business operating structure.” “ By integrating the resources of BTS into our services, we can provide more capabilities in maintaining continuous daily operations and protecting critical business operations and procedures.”

“ Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) are vital considerations for any organization, large or small, to ensure continued operations, longevity, and ultimately survival ,” said Michael K. Connolly, President and Co-Founder of BTS. “ In today’s complex business and IT environments, the need for analysis and preplanning of an organization’s existing structures, risks, and strategies for mitigation is paramount in selecting and implementing not only the appropriate services, but the proper service provider.” ECS’ expertise, experience, and proprietary methodologies in BC/DR services have the perfect synergy with BTS’s business model and provide our clients with exacting business information from which to make more informed decisions on necessary services for their business”.
